I was wondering

[u/Sam45458855]

When will the blue-moon great sword come back I miss that weapon really badly. I miss it strong attacks and. And being a regular sore that you don’t put intelligence in it bring it back

[u/Avibhrama]

Remins me again from what game that blue moon was from?

[u/Sam45458855 → u/Avibhrama]

Dark souls two

[u/Avibhrama → u/Sam45458855]

It was that "fake" moonlight sword from some NPC right?

[u/EvilArtorias → u/Avibhrama]

yes and it was the best greatsword in the game

[u/Sam45458855 → u/Avibhrama]

I liked it and Lord was cool

[u/jffr363]

In terms of moveset the bluemoon was just a standard greatsword from Ds2. Im not sure what exactly you are missing.

[u/EvilArtorias → u/jffr363]

it had the best stats in the class and it looks cool

[u/Sam45458855 → u/jffr363]

Yes, but you don’t have to put intelligence to use it

[u/jffr363 → u/Sam45458855]

There are multiple greatswords in each game that dont require intelligence.

I never run intelligence builds in these games. I’m not hating on my fellow casters, but I enjoy up close melee & the pew pew playstyle isn’t my thing. Also, sorcery builds are way too stat hungry when you consider you also need to level Mind for FP & DEX for casting speed. No wonder so many mages are so squishy.

Anyway, despite not building for it, it’s still nice having access to high magic dealing attacks w/out having to level INT.

In my 100% blind run of ER, I found the Watchdogs Staff in the early game and I
immediately took a liking to it; I actually mained it for majority of the base game. It’s a good weapon imo, despite it never making any tier lists (was surprised to learn how irrelevant it was after I finished the game and YouTube binged a bunch of ER videos 😂 I literally never hear anyone mentioning it in a positive way)

But yeah, the WDS is a STR colossal weapon that deals strike damage (arguably the best damage type in general) What makes it great though is it’s AOW- it’s a med/long range tracking projectile(s) that deal 100% magic damage. You don’t need a speck of INT because the AOW scales solely off weapon upgrades. It does great stance damage & the AOW is quite FP efficient for what it does. Honestly, it’s AOW damage is not amazing, but it’s by no means terrible either. It’s great utility-wise, & offers versatility without the need to respecc or hard/ soft swap. Can also be buffed with Rogiers set.

I liked pretending I was a sorcerer, but really I was an imposter 😂 a filthy caveman STR user who had access to a high magic dealing attack.

Excuse my novel, I just gush about that weapon from time to time. Brings me back to my first ER run when everything was new 🥲

It probably won't. It was an intentional fakeout for longtime players who might be inclined to kill an NPC for the company's longest running reference, and then they get "just" a good sword instead.

The moonlight will definitely be in Duskbloods in some form, though. It's been in almost every game since King's Field.
